Solve. 40 - 3a = -23

1 answer:

6 0

The first answer is C. I did this by subtracting 40 from both sides which gave me: -3a=-63 Then I divided -3 from both sides which gave me a to equal 21.

The second answer would be 15. I did this by subtracting 3 from both sides which gave me: 1/5n=3 Then I multiplied by 5 on both sides. I took the reciprocal of 1/5 which is 5 and it gave me n to equal 15.
I hope this helped you! Let me know if you have any questions!

In the geometric progression 1, 2, 4… what term is 512?

Levart [38]

The next term is double the previous term, so that the $n$ -th term is given recursively by

$\begin{cases}a_1=1\\a_n=2a_{n-1}&\text{for }n>1\end{cases}$

This rule tells us that

$a_2=2a_1$

$a_3=2a_2=2^2a_1$

$a_4=2a_3=2^3a_1$

and so on, with the explicit rule

$a_n=2^{n-1}a_1=2^{n-1}$

for $n\ge1$ .

If 512 is the $k$ -th term in the sequence, then

$512=2^{k-1}\implies\log_2512=\log_22^9=\log_22^{k-1}\implies9=k-1\implies k=10$

25.7 years The rule of 72 is a simple approximation on how long it will take to double your money. You simply divide 72 by the interest rate and you'll have your estimate on the number of years it will take. So 72 / 2.8 = 25.7 years. To demonstrate that it's just an estimate, you can take the log of 2 and divide by the log of 1.028 to get the exact value. This far more complicated calculation gives the result of 25.1 years. And to be honest, the estimate of 25.7 years is more than close enough for such an quick and easy rule of thumb.
